On the cover this month staff photographer Smalls caught up with Brandon Barefield and his spotless Hawaiian Blue 1995 Nissan Hard Body Mini Truck at Slammin and Jammin in Lebanon TN.  Brandon has spent countless hours making this Nissan stand out from the crowd. Make sure to check out his feature. It will not take long to fall in love with this oldschool Nissan.

Also appearing on the cover this month is the beautiful Trinity from Jacksonville, TN. Following the bikini contest Smalls could not resist the opportunity to photograph Trinity on Brandon’s Nissan. 

Five and a half years ago Eric Goubic had a dream to build a civic that was built right. Well, he’s achieved this goal - his 1996 Honda Civic is one of a kind. Our own Toby Mosholder met up with Eric at the 2005 Ass in the Grass Show, held in Dayton, OH.  Be sure not to miss this total package Civic.

Last month we left off with Toby, Swinford, Matt and myself heading to Las Vegas for the 2005 SEMA Show. Just one look through the table of contents and you can see that we made our rendezvous in Sin City one for the record books. We started off the week getting Matt’s project s 10 air dancer http://www.projects10airdancer.com in place at the show. By Tuesday morning it was non stop excitement for the next 4 days!

We have separated the show coverage up into several sections to make the coverage easier to navigate:
SEMA Show Coverage (everything from mild to wild)

For 4 years straight on wed night of SEMA we have had the pleasure of attending the Kicker Big Air Bash. This year kicker stepped up the party by adding an awesome stage show by Recycled Percussion. These guys are what a true Vegas act is all about. Make sure to check out our exclusive photos of these guys jamming for the huge crowd. For more information regarding Recycled Percussion visit http://recycledpercussion.com. For information on the 2006 SEMA Big Air Bash keep your browsers pointed at http://www.kicker.com

The next show on this months schedule is the NOPI Nationals. Sexy ladies, thousands of participants and all the Lifestyle have made the NOPI Nationals one of the largest import and truck shows in the country. This year staff photographer Jason Swinford had the pleasure of capturing the entire weekend for us to enjoy. For information on the 2006 NOPI Nationals visit http://www.nopi.com 

To wrap up event coverage this month we head west to Denver, Colorado with photographer Jason Peckovitch. Jason had the pleasure of covering the Car Toys 2nd Annual Show off. Just one look at the show coverage and you can see that the scene is much hotter than the temperature in Colorado. For information on future Car Toys events stay tuned to http://www.cartoys.com

An extra special holiday feature this month comes to us from automotive artist Don Pace. Don sends an extra wish for all of us to stay toastie this winter season. http://archive.gaugemagazine.com/2005/december/DonPacePinup.htm
